Gingko Spagyric

Ginkgo is the oldest known living species of plant on earth, going back more than 225 million years, with no known species of close relatives. It has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, and has found its way into the US market where it has become one of the best selling herbs here for its efficacy and many uses. 

Ginkgo has a powerful effect on the circulatory system by improving blood flow, and many of its benefits come from this, ranging from reducing lethargy and improving one’s sense of well-being to having a tonic effect on the brain and improving memory. It assists the heart and helps to prevent and treat strokes by preventing the formation of blood clots. It can also help people whose extremities get cold easily. 

For students, ginkgo can help improve memory recall when taken before exams, and for cannabis users, it can help restore short-term memory by sending more oxygen to the brain. Astrologically, ginkgo is ruled by the planet Saturn, which, among other things, represents self-knowledge, discipline, and old things, which makes sense when thinking about the fact that ginkgo trees can live to be over 1,000 years old. Six ginkgo trees were even found to have survived the bombing in Hiroshima, the closest of which still survives and is only 1,200 meters from the epicenter of the blast. 

The list of conditions and maladies ginkgo can treat is numerous, and this is only a partial list: allergies, Alzheimers and dementia, arthritis, blood clots, epilepsy, erectile dysfunction, exhaustion, gout, impotence, joint pain, mucous congestion, premature aging, rheumatism, and sinus congestion. It helps bolster brain function, cardiovascular function, endurance, and heart health.
